A Prayer in Honour of the Holy Cross

O God, Who didst will to hallow the standard of the life-giving Cross
by the Precious Blood of Thine only-begotten Son;
grant, we beseech Thee,
that they who rejoice in honouring the same holy Cross,
may rejoice also in Thine ever-present protection.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

In the centuries old Catholic tradition, holy cards or prayer cards are small, devotional cards for the use of the faithful. Prayer cards have an endless amount of use and make wonderful gifts and keepsakes.
